Self-catering
cottage holidays in Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire,
a gentle, rural county, where traditional English country cottages
with roses climbing over the porch, abound. This is comfortable,
middle England, a place of charm and contentment. It evokes
memories of sleepy villages, the Thames with riverside homes
overlooking the river, boating in the summer, sitting in the gardens
of country pubs... Oxford, with its prestigious university full of
historic interest, smart restaurants, and a superb shopping centre.
Blenheim
Palace with its park, maze and lake, about eight miles distant from
Oxford, is a firm visitor attraction. Winston Churchill was born here.
To
the west, the Cotswolds
beckon, where every golden, stonebuilt home is picture book perfect;
the countryside idyllic. It's great walking country with several
challenging walks for intrepid walkers: the Oxfordshire Way, the
D'Arcy Dalton Way, the Macmillan Way, the Wychwood Way,and the Thames
Path.
Chipping
Norton, is the highest town in Oxfordshire. It's history goes
way back - it was mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Market days
are still held on Wednesdays. There is an ancient stone circle,
called the 'Rollright stones' to the north of Chipping Norton
which might interest those who like to feel one with nature.
Warwick
with its castle and Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare country, are
within striking distance for a day visit.
It's
a good place for a relaxing and lazy holiday, with some sightseeing, a
little walking taking in the beauty of the countryside, shopping,
dining out in smart restaurants and picturesque country pubs, boating
on the river.
